One year since the lockdown was implemented in Metro Manila, the need for a stable internet connection both for working from home and for online schooling continues to be a major concern of most families. Aside from companies asking their employees to work from home, many workers were also displaced, and this led to more people turning to online jobs or businesses just to survive this health and economic crisis.

Last year, the government declared and implemented a lockdown starting on March 15 in the National Capital Region. The number of Covid cases increased in the months that followed.

At the start of the new year 2021, many Filipinos were hoping that things would get better, especially since the vaccines for Covid would be coming this year.

But we saw again a sudden surge in Covid cases in the past days. It is also projected that the number of cases will continue to increase in the coming months. Thus, many students would be doing home-based learning again and workers would continue to work from home or more workers would be working from home if the Covid cases continue to increase.

With these developments in the country, most homebuyers now want not only affordable residential properties but also residential properties with a reliable internet provider.

In line with this, I’d like to share about Lumina Homes, a line of mass housing communities in the Philippines, which partnered with Streamtech, a new telecommunications player that was granted a Provisional Authority for the operation of a wired and fixed broadband network across the country. It is also a member of the Philippine Cable and Telecommunications Association, Inc and applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity with the National Telecommunications Commission or NTC.
